Hardcore band Ceremony contributed a cover of the Violent Femmes classic, "Kiss Off," to the annual AV Club covers series. The original song appeared on the Femmes' 1983 self-titled debut. It was also reissued for the 20th anniversary in 2002.

Couldn't they just Ceremony-ify (and I mean make it like a Violence, Violence/SNMY era song) the song? They just did a weak version of the original. Like come on, add a blast beat or yell or something!

I was fully ready to hate on this, but it's good. The Femmes are way cooler than anything you pussies are listening to. Ooh, he's not screaming...so weird. Hey, you know what? Grow up. How the fuck are kids making it through high school these days without hearing the Femmes? Public education is so fucked. Thanks a heap No Child Left Behind. Listen to the Violent Femmes.
